How to use multi-source remote sensing data to achieve the target of rapid, efficient and accurate soil salinity monitoring in a large area is worth further study. In this research, using Kenli District of the Yellow River Delta as study area, the inversion of soil salinity in a corn planting area was carried out based on the integration of ground imaging hyperspectral, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) multispectral and Sentinel-2A satellite multispectral images. The UAV and ground images were fused, and the partial least squares inversion model was constructed by the fused UAV image.

Introduction with regard to jurisdictional claims in Globally, declining soil quality poses a significant challenge to improving agricultural published maps and institutional affil- productivity, economic growth and a healthy environment [1,2]. In coastal areas, soil iations. salinity and alkalinity are major soil limiting factors for agricultural and land degrada- tion [3]. Soil salinization not only reduces soil quality and land productivity, leading to a decline in crop yield, but also threatens ecological security and sustainable land use [4–6].

Remote sensing technology has become a frequently used method for the quantitative analysis of soil salinization information because of its advantages of fast, large-scale, and non-destructive acquisition of ground feature infor- mation [9]. At present, ground, UAV and satellite remote sensing technologies provide a powerful means for monitoring the salt content of surface soils and have been widely used in the monitoring of farmland soil salinization [10–13]. Mohammad et al. [14] implemented the monitoring of soil salinity in a large area of Qom County, Qom Province, Iran, based on Sentinel-2A data. Wei et al. [15] took advantage of UAV equipped with Micro-MCA multispectral sensors to obtain images and realized the estimation of soil salinity in a small area of Hetao Irrigation District. Wang et al. [16] utilized a portable spectrometer ASD to obtain soil hyperspectral to construct a soil salinity inversion model in Baidunzi Basin, China, and achieved high model accuracy. However, most satellite images have low spatial resolution, so it is hard to achieve high precision real-time monitoring; UAV technology can obtain images with high temporal and spatial resolution, but the observation range is small, and it is unable to realize large scale monitoring; hyperspectral data can build high precision inversion models, but point information is incapable of monitoring soil salinity in a continuous spatial range. Therefore, due to the mutual constraints between the spatial resolution, spectral resolution and imaging width of the sensor, it is difficult for a single sensor to meet the requirements of large-scale, high precision and rapid soil salinity monitoring simultaneously [17]. Making full use of the complementary advantages of multi-source remote sensing data to carry out satellite-UAV-ground integrated inversion is an possible way to improve the accuracy of remote sensing inversion of regional soil salinity [18–20]. At present, Satellite-UAV-ground multi-source optical remote sensing data fusion has been applied to regional soil salinity inversion [21–25]. Solmaz et al. [26] constructed an in- version model through Landsat 8 and ASTER image fusion to obtain the spatial distribution of soil salinity in the Balikhli-Chay watershed, which improved the accuracy of soil salinity monitoring in the watershed. However, by the affection of inconsistency of sensor bands and satellite data acquisition time, the accuracy of soil salinity inversion after data fusion still needed to be improved. Zhang et al. [27] took advantage of band correction coefficients to normalize the reflectivity of satellite images based on the correlation between UAV and satellite image reflectivity, which improved the accuracy of soil salinity inversion, but the relationship between UAV and satellite image band spectrum information is nonlinear, and it was unable to accurately express the relationship between the two using only normalized coefficients. Sun et al. [28] used the measured soil hyperspectral data and Landsat-8 OLI multispectral data fusion to improve the retrieval accuracy of soil salt, and analyzed the differences of salt remote sensing in different seasons. Jia et al. [29] built a soil salinization estimation model based on the fusion of ASD hyperspectral and Landsat-8 OLI images, which expanded hyperspectral data from isolated point information to pixel and regional scale; however, due to the large spectral differences, it was difficult to effectively establish the corresponding relationship between the two samples, limiting the improvement of the inversion accuracy. In conclusion, the satellite-UAV-ground integration of regional soil salinity inversion is subject to the following limitations at present. First of all, the discrete hyperspectral observation data cannot accurately match the continuous spatial scale of UAV and satellite data; second, the simple linear method is used to fuse remote sensing data of different scales, and the accuracy of the inversion model built therefrom is limited; third, until now most of the inversion research based on satellite-UAV-ground multi-source remote sensing data fusion is based on the data fusion of two platforms, and the research of soil salinity inversion systems based on the integration of remote sensing data of three platforms still needs further exploration. The overall objective of this research is to to explore the nonlinear fusion method of ground imaging hyperspectral and UAV multi-spectral images, build a soil salinity inversion model based on the fused UAV images, and then to try to construct a high Remote Sens. 2021, 13, 3100 3 of 18 the research of soil salinity inversion systems based on the integration of remote sensing data of three platforms still needs further exploration.

Therefore, rapid and accurate monitoring of the salinity and distribution of coastal saline soil is crucial. Representative areas of the Yellow River Delta (YRD)—the Hekou District (the core test area with 140 sampling points) and the Kenli District (the verification area with 69 sampling points)—were investigated. Ground measurement data, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral imagery and Sentinel-2A multispectral imagery were used as the data sources and a satellite-UAV-ground integrated inversion of the coastal soil salinity was performed. Correlation analyses and multiple regression methods were used to construct an accurate model. Then, a UAV-based inversion model was applied to the satellite imagery with reflectance normalization. Finally, the spatial and temporal universality of the UAV-based inversion model was verified and the soil salinity inversion results were obtained. The results showed that the green, red, red-edge and near-infrared bands were significantly correlated with soil salinity and the spectral parameters significantly improved this correlation; hence, the model is more effective upon combining spectral parameters with sensitive bands, with modeling precision and verification precision of the best model being 0.743 and 0.809, respectively.

Abstract: Dongying City, which is the most important central city in the Yellow River Delta, is located in the estuary of the Yellow River. With a short land formation time, ecological environment is very weak in this area. To realize the sustainable economic development of the Yellow River Delta, resource environment and resource environmental bearing capacity (REBC) must be improved. This study builds assessment system of regional REBC through resource and economic characteristics in Yellow River Delta and uses principal component analysis (PCA) method to evaluate REBC of five counties and districts in Dongying City in 2011-2015 on the dimensions of time and space. Results show that, on the time dimension, Guangrao County is ranked first, Dongying district second for four years and Hekou and Kenli districts with lower ranks in 2012-2015, indicating that more attention needs to be paid to REBC of Hekou and Dongying districts and these two districts should be included into key monitoring areas.

  • Monitoring the Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Salinization in the Yellow River Delta of China Using Landsat Data
    Monitoring the seasonal dynamics of soil salinization in the Yellow River Delta of China using Landsat data Hongyan Chen, Gengxing Zhao*, Yuhuan Li, Danyang Wang, Ying Ma National Engineering Laboratory for Efficient Utilization of Soil and Fertilizer 5 Resources, College of Resources and Environment, Shandong Agricultural University, Taian 271018, China Corresponding author: Gengxing Zhao, College of Resources and Environment, Shandong Agricultural University, No. 61 Daizong Street, Tai’an, Shandong 271018, PR China. E-mail: [email protected] 10 Abstract. In regions with distinct seasons, soil salinity usually varies greatly by season. Thus, the seasonal dynamics of soil salinization must be monitored to prevent and control soil salinity hazards and to reduce ecological risk. This article took the Kenli District in the Yellow River Delta (YRD) of China as the 15 experimental area. Based on Landsat data from spring and autumn, improved vegetation indices (IVIs) were created and then applied to inversion modeling of the soil salinity content (SSC) by employing stepwise multiple linear regression, back propagation neural network and support vector machine methods. Finally, the optimal SSC model in each season was extracted, and the spatial distributions 20 and seasonal dynamics of SSC within a year were analyzed. The results indicated that the SSC varied by season in the YRD, and the support vector machine method offered the best SSC inversion models for the precision of the calibration set (R2>0.72, RMSE <6.34 g/kg) and the validation set (R2>0.71, RMSE<6.00 g/kg, and RPD>1.66). The best SSC inversion model for spring could be applied 25 to the SSC inversion in winter (R2 of 0.66), and the best model for autumn could be applied to the SSC inversion in summer (R2 of 0.65).

At present, there are few studies on the green utilization efficiency of cultivated land (GUECL), which covers the comprehensive benefits of economy, ecology and society, combined with the requirements of ecological civilization and green development. Taking 65 cities (regions and autonomous prefectures) of the Yellow River Basin as the basic evaluation unit, the GUECL of the Yellow River Basin is evaluated with a Super-SBM model. In general, the GUECL of the Yellow River Basin was not high at four time points of 2000, 2006, 2012 and 2018, which presents a trend of “rising first and then falling”. Analyzing its temporal and spatial evolution pattern, the GUECL in the upper, middle and lower reaches presented an order of the upper reaches area > the lower reaches area > the middle reaches area; and the spatial variation trend showed a decrease from west to east, and a U-shaped change in the south-north direction.
